Driving Tirau to Ōpōtiki, Aotearoa New Zealand with Wandering Pig

It's been a while but we got away on another road trip, this time Tirau to Ōpōtiki as we headed towards the East Cape to Gisborne via the long way.
This trip starts with fog and then clears up as we head to Rotorua. A quick fuel stop then on to Hell's Gate and stop at some of Rotorua's lakes. A detour through Kawarau and then the usual bug strike and unusually a pig wandering across the road.
If you have a TV sitting in your living room doing nothing most of the time, play this video, or any other Slow TV from UA-cam, as moving art. See some of the best roads Aotearoa New Zealand has to offer.
